Orji Uzor Kalu Prioritizes APC Loyalty Over Ethnicity

Orji Uzor Kalu, the Senator representing Abia North, declared that his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) is paramount over ethnic affiliations. In an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Kalu emphasized that he has no obligation to support Igbo politicians contesting under different political parties, including the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

He stated that his commitment lies with the APC, having previously been a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA). Kalu expressed that while he identifies as an Igbo man and has defended Igbo interests, he will not allow ethnicity to dictate his political choices.

He clarified that supporting Igbo politicians outside the APC is not his concern, stating, “It is purely their business.” Kalu reiterated that party loyalty is his primary political consideration and that he embraces his Nigerian identity while recognizing his Igbo roots in his community.
